*The campus attorneys of the constituent institutions met September 28,
1982, to discuss grievance procedures. Since the training sessions recom-
mended by the Faculty Assembly Resolution of last April are being planned,
it is possible that the broader subject of grievance procedures may also
be addressed. The Committee recommends a postponement of action on their
report for a reasonable period of time. A delay in consideration of the
report would also allow individuals and units to suggest changes for

the committee to consider.

**Action on the Report of the ad hoc Grievance Procedures Committee may,
therefore, be premature.

PLEASE BRING THIS WITH YOU TO THE OCTOBER 12, 1982 FACULTY SENATE MEETING

Agenda Item 6A:

Item for Consideration under New Business

I have been informed by the Office of Institutional Research that several
units have inquired concerning the availability of information obtained in the
Survey of Student Opinion of Instruction to be conducted by that office during

November, 19382.

Institutional Research can obtain the following additional information if
the faculty chooses,

(1) Summary of all student survey information for the combined classes of
each individual instructor. (This information, if obtained, would be
sent to each instructor and to the immediate administrative superior.
It must be done for all faculty or for none.)

(2) Summary of student survey for all classes in the unit. If approved by
the Senate, this information would be furnished only those units
requesting the information.

(3) Summary of student survey for the entire institution. If approved by
the Senate, this information would be furnished to those units
requesting the information,

(4) A research data set could be provided to requesting units where 100% of
the instructor and course identification had been stripped. There would
be an indicator of the level of the class. This information would be
furnished on tape to the requesting units only.

I have been asked to remind the faculty that the questionnaire prepared for
use by Institutional Research is not designed for individual use and may not be
used apart from the University Evaluation. A resolution must be passed at the
October 12, 1982 Meeting of the Faculty Senate if the information is to be
obtained from the survey this fall,
